Prayer does work!

I just realized that this would be my first entry for the new year.

Thank you all for journeying with me in 2008. It has indeed been a fantastic year. Continue this wonderful race with me this year. I am sure 2009 will be a great year. Though I do not know what is in store for me but I know it is definitely good stuff. God only give good gifts.

I just return home from a hospital visit to my dad. Cut long story short, he had internal bleeding so he is now under observation. His profuse bleeding has stopped but is still bleeding slightly. If he continues to bleed tomorrow, he might have to go through an operation. Due to age, not wise to do that.

Well, best thing to do now is to keep him cheerful. My CG came just now and they really made him laughed (something that I can't do). Yesterday 2 good friends & Geo went and entertained him also. I also helped him look forward to discharging by reminding him that CNY is round the corner. Reunion dinner is something very important to him.

I realized one good thing about being part of a church - I will never be alone. All I did was to inform a few people (only 4 cause my phone was running out of battery). The next thing I knew, many knew and asked how they can offer their help/prayers. I thank God for friends around me! And oh! Doc yesterday said (in his own words) that dad was bleeding so badly that his blood pressure went downhill. However, miraculously, his profuse bleeding stopped and doc does not know what stopped the bleeding. I choose to believe that God works miracles!
